Are You Connected? Your New Bmw Is!

Did you know that BMW was the first car manufacturer to offer an iPod port

? That was way back in 2004, and now iPod, MP3, and USB ports are available on most new and used BMW cars as well as cars from other manufacturers. Today, your new BMW 3 series, 5 series, or 7 series may come equipped with even more innovative BMW accessories such as Mobile Office with Text to Speech, Surround View with Top View, Night Vision, or even built-in apps.

Connected Drive

BMW's Connected Drive is an innovative information centre that connects the driver to its various functions. Many of its features do not require a cell phone onboard the car. BMW cars equipped with Connected Drive have a built-in SIM card that handles the communications between the driver and the BMW Services call centre.

The Connected Drive display boasts numerous features. Imagine driving to a destination and receiving real-time traffic alerts, being able to check the latest stock quotes, or calendar information from your smartphone. To get the most out of your connected BMW 1 series, you'll want to synchronize it to your smartphone as well as set up a BMW Assist account online. Using your online account, you can then send addresses and Google information directly to your BMW convertible.

The Mobile Office with Text-to-Speech feature allows you to synchronize your smartphone with your BMW. Ontario business professionals who drive frequently will appreciate the ability to check email messages using the text-to-speech reader.

Another Connected Drive feature is the infrared night vision which allows you to see pedestrians, animals, and other potential road obstacles up to 300 metres ahead of you. The night vision image displays on the Connected Drive screen

A series of cameras mounted on your Connected Drive-equipped new BMW 3 series provides you with a 270 degree view of your car's surroundings, allowing you a better view of tight parking or driveway environments.

In addition to these fantastic Connected Drive features, Connected Drive can connect to your iPhone via an app and then display information from your Facebook and Twitter accounts as well as play music from your favourite Web radio stations. The text-to-speech function reads posts to you, allowing you to continue driving without having to take your hands off the wheel.

Not only can your BMW M3 equipped with Connected Drive read messages to you, it also understands your voice commands. Voice control functions allow you to make phone calls, ask for turn-by-turn directions, control music, or even ask for traffic updates. Meanwhile, you can also record voice memos while driving and either send your recordings to your email address or record them on a USB stick.
